The Life Of Prayer In A World Of Science

The Life of Prayer in a World of Science by William Adams Brown is a thought-provoking book that explores the relationship between science and religion, and how prayer fits into this dynamic. Brown argues that prayer is an essential component of human life, and that it can coexist with scientific inquiry and knowledge.The book is divided into three parts. The first part explores the nature of prayer and its role in human life. Brown argues that prayer is not just a religious practice, but a fundamental aspect of human existence that allows us to connect with something greater than ourselves. He also discusses the different forms of prayer, from petitionary prayer to contemplative prayer.The second part of the book looks at the relationship between science and religion. Brown argues that science and religion are not mutually exclusive, and that they can complement each other in important ways. He explores the history of this relationship, from the conflict between Galileo and the Catholic Church to the contemporary debate over evolution.The final part of the book focuses on the practical aspects of prayer. Brown offers guidance on how to cultivate a life of prayer, including tips on meditation, journaling, and finding a spiritual community. He also discusses the challenges of maintaining a life of prayer in a world that is increasingly focused on materialism and technology.Overall, The Life of Prayer in a World of Science is a thoughtful and insightful book that will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of science and religion, and the role of prayer in modern life. Brown's writing is clear and accessible, and his arguments are well-supported by both scientific and religious sources.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
